I've been a bit tardy at getting the printables up from our fun Lego party, but due to popular demand I've finally gotten them put together. I was hesitant, for a few reasons, about sharing them, but I figured if others were looking for stuff, like I was, sharing would be the right thing to do!

The Printable Pack not only has all the fun printables we made and used, but I also included various game ideas that we collected for our own part. We didn't use all the game ideas, but we did use many of them.

I also included the instructions for each printable, all though they are pretty clear cut as to what to do with them. There's also two craft ideas, one of which we had intended to use, but then completely forgot about!

No food ideas because we served semi-typical Aussie party foods: Sausage rolls, party pies, fruits and veggies. I did make jam sandwiches using our fun little Lego Cookie Cutter, but that was really the only Lego theme on the table. I had considered making pizza and using circular pepperoni on top to look like lego bricks, but I went the simpler route which the birthday boy was quite happy with.

In the pack you'll find printable invites. We simply removed our own personal information so you can print them out double sided and address. The postal people often say things like, "I dunno if these will work in the machine because the stamp might not stick." I always reply with, "No worries, we've been doing this for years and never had issues." So they continue on..

Lego Head straw toppers, bubble wrappers, and raisin box wrappers too. I can't remember the exact size for my raisin box, but it wasn't the tinniest box, it was the size box where you can often buy packs of six. We also didn't get to intent with flaps and slits to put the flaps in. The kids helped tape them together and we kept it super simple. We printed our bubble wrappers on yellow paper and taped them onto red mini bubble bottles that had yellow lids.

There's party bag toppers, we always have fun making those! And the coloring book we made. We chose to sew our coloring book on my sewing machine instead of stapling it. If you're not up for that you could easily staple it. If you chose to sew it, be aware that you might want to mark the needle you use {small piece of tape, red marker, etc.} so you know which needle is the paper needle as paper can dull it.

You can download the Printable Pack here. The pack is 15 pages, so it might take a moment to load. We hope, if you use it, that you have a super fun day for your special person! My birthday boy is still chattering about his party and asking us to play the party games over and over with him.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I already had the box, and a couple of coloring pages, but the rest is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks so much for sharing! You are right... It isn't easy finding Lego stuff. Especially for older boys!

People like you are so awesome when searching for a way to make my child's birthday great without spending a small fortune. Some candy stores also sell Lego shaped candy fyi, which is fun to put in a gift bag.

This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing. You have saved me hours and hours of trawling the internet. Printables are fantastic and I especially love the game suggestions - I would never have thought of those. I think my son will be the envy of every kid at school after this party. You are champion!!!
